Yes you are correct this does indeed happen, when turning off the bed like this you need some additional process of keeping the print on the bed, textured surface or adhesives. We are a research group looking at the energy demand for 3d printing, all methods and its carbon footprint. There is thermal expansion in the plate however the delta is very small and is having little effect when compared to the thickness of extrusion. We measure this also during the testing. Thanks for your help, its great to have your experience as a resource.

@DivingDuck, thanks for this, really helped me out in some experimental printing we are doing.
